I am sick of many good escapists getting banned, I have compiled a list of things to not to get banned. "But who are you to say what to Evil Smurf?" You might say, I would reply; "A user who has learnt from his mistakes."
0. Don't be an arsehole Thanks SlaveNumber23.
1. Don't touch the word troll
2. Don't be rude, even if the above poster is an arsehole, BE NICE!
3. REPORT (Trolls and other bastards) and MOVE ON!
4. If you can say something in more words, do it. Additionally Stay on topic.
User X: What do think of cake?
User Y: yes
So you are User Y, what should you have done? This:
User X: What do think of cake?
User Y: I like Flourless orange Cake, it is so orangey and moist!
4.5. Merely adding "Extra words to avoid mod's wrath" to a low content post does not avoid a mod's wrath. Thanks madwarper.
4.75 Don't just add a picture and not back it up. For example
User X: What do think of cake?
User Y:
So you are User Y, what should you have done? This:
User X: What do think of cake?
User Y: I like Flourless orange Cake, it is so orangey and moist!,
5. Don't endorse/admit to piracy or use of adblocking software
6. Don't Troll people: don't make a topic or post solely for reactions
7. Don't Post just to get a hight post count, so don't double post on purpose. This goes for user groups, and all forums.
8. If you disagree with someone, don't fight them!
9. Saying something like "All EA haters are idiots.", "Your religion is a lie" Or "ALL BRONIES ARE GAY!" Will get mod wrathed, Never personally attack someone, or insult a specific group or person. It always ends badly. Thanks Lucem713 and mysecondlife
10. If you're being sarcastic and it's not immediately obviously to everyone, then make it more obvious. Some people will take you seriously and may get offended.
11. The more warnings you have, the easier it is to get another warning. When you have one more warning=banning then you are walking on the THINNEST ice. Very minor infractions that wouldn't earn a warning for people without any can earn you a final one leading to your being banned.Thanks Copper Zen
12. Do not present a binary where both options insults the user/a group.Examples (slightly altered versions of posts that have gotten people in trouble):
Exhibit A:
He/she is either too stupid to get it or too dishonest to admit he/she is wrong.
Exhibit B:
Are you really this dumb or are you just trolling?
Thanks Hjalmar Fryklund
13. Do not call for attacks on a user. Thanks Hjalmar Fryklund
14. Do not Ban Jump: this means making another account after a suspension or ban.
15. It's a bad idea to pretend your post got moderated when it didn't. You might just evoke the wrath of the mods. Thanks ChristopherRobin
16. Do not threaten a user with violence, emotional trauma, harrassment, or other types of bullying thanks Hjalmar Fryklund
17.
